i've had some sweaters hanging around since high school and yesterday i put them to good use! felting is something i have wanted to try for a few years now and i am so excited that i finally jumped in. i researched a couple of different techniques, but it is really as easy as washing a few times on hot and drying. it does clog up your washer a bit, so if this becomes a new hobby for me, i might take my sweaters down to the local laundromat and ruin their machines.
the sweaters were all different - the pink one, i ran through the washing machine twice and the one on the far right went through 4 times. i guess it all depends on the individual sweater.
now if you'll excuse me, i have a lot of christmas ornaments to cut out of this beautiful felt.
Felt is so much fun to play with...you're going to have a ball! I especially love my felted sweater slippers...
ReplyDeleteim in the same boat as you. i went thrift shopping yesterday and i already felted the 2 sweaters.Im gonna make a dog sweater and Christmas ornaments out of them.
